Abstract

The reaction of molybdic acid, phosphoric acid and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate with m-toluidine in aqueous solution at room temperature furnished a new diphosphopentamolybdate (\(\hbox {C}_{7}\hbox {H}_{10}\hbox {N})_{4}[\hbox {H}_{2}\hbox {P}_{2}\hbox {Mo}_{5}\hbox {O}_{23}]\cdot \hbox {H}_{2}\hbox {O}\) (1). A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study showed that the compound crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system with space group \(P-1\) and unit cell constants, \(a~=~12.833\) (3) Å, \(b~=~13.9855\) (4) Å, \(c=14.9446\) (4) Å, \(\alpha =64.607\) (3)\({^{\circ }}\), \(\beta ~=~70.578\) (2)\({^{\circ }}\), \(\gamma \) = 65.713 (3)\({^{\circ }}\). The sample was also analyzed by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and UV-visible spectroscopy. Using the refined atomic structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and Semi-empirical calculations were performed to study the intermolecular interactions and calculate theoretical properties of 1.

SYNOPSIS The title compound (\(\hbox {C}_{7}\hbox {H}_{10}\hbox {N})_{4}[\hbox {H}_{2}\hbox {P}_{2}\hbox {Mo}_{5}\hbox {O}_{23}]\cdot \hbox {H}_{2}\hbox {O}\) was synthesized and characterized by IR and UV spectroscopy, and its structure was solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The presence of the Mo, P, O, C and N atoms was confirmed by EDS analysis. The Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed to elucidate non-bonding interactions and theoretical properties were calculated.
